Marrazl said it very well. There is an issue here. Some
of our PC's have this problem and some don't, but it is an
issue with many Senior management in our College. Yes, we
can manually go to the affected PC's of our 350 computers
and fix it manually, but this problem has never happened
before even using the same install of software. We have
used our Windows98SE image through at least 3 changes of
daylight saving and had no problems so all these temporary
fixes I'm seeing in this newsgroup are only bandaids to
the real problem. Please address as a patch which, I'm
very sure is the problem.
If you need anymore info please ask and I'm sure we would
all be happy to provide.
What I am seeing is that the PC with the newer images on
aren't affected, but with the ones with the older images
are. Same OS, but the patches and whatnot are different.
